Chapter 338 His Decision

"You!" Queenie glared heatedly at Zachary.

"The two of you should come back to the room with me. I have something to tell you," Zachary said to Queenie and Rebecca. Queenie tried not to be annoyed as he motioned for them to her room as if he owned it.

After a short pause, the two girls exchanged hesitant glances but ultimately followed after Zachary.

As soon as they entered, they immediately closed the door to ward off potential eavesdroppers. Privacy secured, they turned back to Zachary and stalked after him intently like a beast with its prey.

"I'm afraid I can't come back quickly after I go to the Dark Prison. I'll give you what you need," Zachary told them calmly. He raised his hands as if to placate the girls who looked even more incensed about what he said.

"I don't care! Humph! We tried so hard to support you but you compromised like a coward. I'm so disappointed with you," Queenie ranted. She let out an irritated huff and refused to meet Zachary's eyes.

On the other hand, Rebecca didn't say anything. She stood quietly with a troubled expression on her face.

"Actually, going to the Dark Prison is exactly what I am hoping for. I have a quest to complete there. It's not a compromise," Zachary confessed. It was barely a crumb of information but that was all they were going to get.

"A quest?" the girls repeated together with varying levels of confusion on their faces. He nodded once but made sure to look stern so they would realize that they would not get any more information.

"That's all you need to know. You don't have to worry about me. I can protect myself," Zachary said.

"Who is worried about you? In fact, I hope you'll never come back," Queenie huffed again and folded her hands on her chest defensively. She turned her back on Zachary like she was annoyed but inwardly, she was worried about him.

"I can't do that. I'm afraid you'll miss me," Zachary joked.

"Come on, don't put feathers in your cap!" Rebecca laughed out loud while Queenie released an exasperated sigh. Despite this, Zachary's antics seemed to amuse Queenie as much as it did Rebecca.

"You can't slack off when I'm not here. I'll check your progress after I come back. If you can't reach the goals that I've set, I will spank you on the hips," Zachary grinned wickedly.

The two girls shrank back against the wall. They didn't want to get spanked. At the same time, thei

dn't understand why Zachary suddenly needed three months' worth of treasures.

"Yes," Zachary replied with a nod. "I have an emergency that I need to deal with but it will take me at least three months. So if you want the Hatching Fluid, you have to make a one-time deal with me for three months."

"This is a bit too sudden. As per the agreement, I have to give you thirty treasures of King Level each month. That will add up to ninety treasures for three months. I can't get that many treasures of King Level in such a short notice," said Riley hesitantly. She studied him for a moment, her concerns written on her face. As a businesswoman, she had seen and experienced a lot of cheating activities in the business world. It was only natural to be worried since the huge value involved was not something to play around with.

"The Phoenix House is very influential. There's no way that you can't take out ninety treasures. You are worried that I will give you fake Hatching Fluid, aren't you?" Zachary immediately saw through her sugar-coated words and cut to the chase.

"Since you mentioned it already, then I won't lie to you anymore. You are right. Your sudden request will arouse suspicion from anyone. As a businesswoman, I cannot just take a risk with no guarantee," Riley said frankly.

"What kind of guarantee do you want?" Zachary asked with a smile.

Riley shook her head. The smile that she had earlier had been replaced by a tight frown. "I'm afraid you can't give me the guarantee I want. You have neither supporters nor connections in the Devil Kingdom, so you can't reassure me."
